Champ électrique dans la zone arrière. Afin de collecter les paires électron-trou créées par les radiations de grandes longueurs d'onde du spectre solaire, on a imaginé de réaliser un champ électrique par transition abrupte de dopage, sur la face arrière de la pile solaire, dans la zone même de contact ohmique. Ce champ électrique arrière s'appelle BSF (Back Surface Field). Les porteurs excédentaires ainsi créés au voisinage de cette zone, au lieu de s'y recombiner, sont repoussés vers la région de charge d'espace de la jonction. 2, record 1, French, - pile%20solaire%20%C3%A0%20champ%20%C3%A9lectrique%20arri%C3%A8re
